"Please disregard. Even though I had done a make clean, to be save I deleted all of the directories and pulled new source for mplayer and ffmpeg and it compiled clean and for what ever reason it's playing all of my video files (on a 64-bit system) now so I'm all set. I appreciate everyone's suggestions and assistance.

Regards,Brad"

wonder if you delete the mplayer dir and try it again if you get past it?

Hmm, I'm not sure if I understand. Should I first run the:svn checkout svn://svn.mplayerhq.hu/mplayer/trunk mplayerand then delete the $HOME/mplayer folder before running 'make' ? How/where should I run the 'make' if delete the folder ?I tried 'make' from $HOME when mplayer folder was deleted and got this (obviously)make: *** No targets specified and no makefile found. Stop.

I tried that aswell, it made no difference Thank you industrai for trying to help me out. But as it seems that I am getting nowhere with karmic koala, I guess I have to try my luck with Ubuntu 9.04 and these instuctions:viewtopic.php?f=3&t=3437

If someone stumbles on the same problem as I did and somehow solves it, please do share your wisdom

This is a great tutorial. I'm an Ubuntu noob and managed to follow all the way through without opening 20 extra tabs to work out how to fix steps that didn't work along the way. So it was all going great until I opened Media Server and it can't find my PS3. It's turned on and media servers are enabled in the PS3 settings. I have no idea how to troubleshoot this apart from random Googling which is doing very little to help my situation.

I find the order you turn things on to be important. Have you tried turning on your PS3, letting it load fully, then turning on the PMS?
